Twenty-seven dates in seven states serve as the ingredients for the 2017 USAC Midget National schedule.

Among the events are four distinct tours that make up the bulk of the schedule such as June’s “Indiana Midget Week,” July’s weekend trip to Illinois as well as an August tour of the Heartland of America and “Pennsylvania Midget Week,” which offers a total of eight races in a busy Summer stretch.

Dirt racing safety improvements are non existent and I can’t understand why. We’ve seen countless dirt track deaths over the years. Basically nothing has changed and nothing is being developed in regards to safety yet we keep going faster.

The Bryan Clauson crash video can be seen posted below. Please be aware of graphic content in the amateur video. The USAC National driver is now in critical condition at a hospital following the dirt track crash.
